Empowering Excellence Through Landscaping
Our History and Philosophy
YGS Landscapes has been a stalwart presence in the South West for over 45 years, since its founding in 1973. Our story began with Steve Warren-Brown, our founder and current managing director, who initially traded under the name Yealm Gardening Services from his office in Brixton, Devon. As the company grew, Steve moved the operation to its current premises in Plympton in 1997. With a team that boasts over 75 years of collective experience in all aspects of landscaping, and an additional 45 years of experience within our supervisors, we have honed our skills to deliver top-notch services to our clients.
